Archive Attitudes¶

Archiving deletes a signed-off Attitude's geometry, mesh, solution and raw exports. Its forces, images and movies stay available in Results. You can archive one Attitude, a whole Run or a whole Project.

Before you start

Only signed-off Attitudes can be archived. See launch and monitor a Run.

Archiving can't be undone in the app

Bramble deletes the mesh and solution, and can't restore them. Treat archiving as permanent.

Archive one Attitude¶

Open the Run and go to the Summary tab.
In the Attitude's Transitions row, click Archive Attitude. It only appears once the Attitude has been signed off.
Read the warnings in Archive Attitude and click Confirm.

When archiving has finished, the Transitions cell shows Archived.

Archive a Run¶

In the sidebar, under Simulation Admin, click Runs.
On the Run's row, click Archive.
In Archive Run, confirm that you want to archive all Attitudes in the Run, then click Archive Run.

Archive is disabled when:

Tooltip	Reason
"One or more attitudes are not completed"	Every Attitude in the Run must be signed off first
"All cases already archived"	The Run is already archived. The icon is filled in
"Example Runs cannot be archived"	Example Runs can't be archived
"Demo Projects cannot be archived"	Example Projects can't be archived

Archive a Project¶

Archiving a Project archives every signed-off Attitude in it. Attitudes that haven't been signed off are left alone.

In the sidebar, under Simulation Admin, click Projects.
Archive the Project.
In Archive Project, click Archive Project.

Once every Attitude in the Project has been archived, the Project itself is marked as archived.

What archiving changes¶

Kept	Deleted
Forces and results	The case geometry, including delta geometry
Post-processed images and movies	Mesh and solution files
Table views, the postpro viewer and exports of the results	Raw exports, such as surface and volume data for post-processing, and movie frames

After archiving, the Attitude:

can't generate new postpro. Re-run, Run-on and Extra Exports are no longer offered. Export any volume data you need first. See export volume data
isn't used as a baseline. Other Attitudes that use it as their baseline, or as an extra delta, skip it when generating delta postpro. To use it as a baseline again, contact support@bramblecfd.com
can't be a mapped-solution donor. Attitudes that use it show "Mapped Solution Donor Case has been archived."
can't be the parent of a child Run. Create Child Run is disabled for a Run with archived Attitudes
can't be deleted, and its Logs tab is empty

Find archived Runs¶

The Runs page and the Results page can filter by archive status. Open Run Filters (or Filter Rows on Results) and set Archive Status to Show Only Archived Runs or Show Only Active Runs. A Run counts as archived only when all its Attitudes are archived. See filter results.

Dialogs that let you pick a Run from elsewhere, such as the extra-deltas picker, have a Show Archived Runs toggle.

Automatic archiving¶

Some Accounts archive older Attitudes automatically. Whether this applies depends on your Account. Ask support@bramblecfd.com if you're not sure. To keep a Run's Attitudes from being archived automatically, click Update Tags on the Run's Summary tab, tick Prevent Archiving, and save.
